I am now a Birth Doula. I personally don&#39;t care much for this documentary as I feel it is very anti-doctor and anti-hospital. It has the potential of making women more fearful of birthing in a hospital and of Dr&#39;s themselves. As a Doula, my job is calm fears and anxiety and to encourage women to surround themselves with positive images of birth - which match their own plans and hopes. <br />In terms of production value, I found it lacking. It had a few good points, but lacked professionalism. It seemed to come across as being confrontational for the sake of being confrontational - and what good is that going to do? I prefer The Business of Being Born and recommend that to all my clients.Emnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5132953033183671060.post-71820467758877413202011-03-22T18:14:16.317-05:002011-03-22T18:14:16.317-05:00Anon,

Maybe if you had been with a midwife in the first place you wouldn&#39;t have had to do a c-section, was the baby breech? Sure, sometimes medical intervention is necessary, but it&#39;s a much lower rate for midwifes, and the studies I have read show a LOWER infant mortality rate for low-risk pregnancies...Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5132953033183671060.post-7719457513642650552010-01-09T22:54:10.913-06:002010-01-09T22:54:10.913-06:00I just watched this movie.

The couple in the movie just proved why having a baby in a hospital monitered by doctors is the way to do it. I was crying thinking the baby woukd die. Why would you risk your babies life?
